"Trees were perfectly cut down , read on. I trust people on their word and do not press people, maybe trust too much. Leigh said, he'd give me job details in writing. That did not happen till the job was over. Before starting I told him the back yard has one moist area and to avoid this if possible, that's why I hired him with the 85" spider to not go in this area and take care of some 75' trees, which the spider seem to do. well. But other equipment ended up turning this area into a mud pit. He said he'd level it out. Fine but , Turns out the guys with the rakes, just don't like mud. Now it is not an area level enough to drive my lawn tractor over yet even if dry. I will somehow need to correct this myself. Had this been better leveled this would have been 4.5 - 5 stars overall. And my steep driveway had patches and were torn up by their truck and I need to spend hours to also correct this. FYI- oil delivery truck was there earlier in the week, no damage & never damaged the driveway. He did discount the end price $100. FYI-Get a general before job description in writing. Leigh is a nice guy that communicates well, but get it in writing. "The devil lives in the details""

"This tree is a huge oak tree and his team came in and topped it like it was nothing. I would hire him if I ever need any tree service. Very professional and easy to work with. Very reasonable on price too."

"They called the same day i requested a service quote and came that afternoon even though it was raining like crazy. Joe gave us a quote and two days later the crew showed up and did an amazing job of removing a tree from our creek and cutting some branches from other trees. They removed a the debris and left the area clean. I highly recommend this company to any one."

"Andrew from Second Nature lawn care came out to do some touch up seeding this morning. He was wonderful. He has been here to do the fall seeding before and did a terrific job. He did the same for me today. He was thorough, informative and such a delight to have at my house. I could not have been more pleased. Second Nature is really fortunate to have him in their company!! I appreciate him so much and am grateful to Second Nature for for responding to my request so quickly !"

"Omar, Tony and their crew did a fantastic job removing the trees and grinding the stumps. They showed up as scheduled and immediately went to work, they removed some items around the yard that could have been damaged during the removal process. Once the job was completed, they made sure all of the small debris was cleaned up. This was the second time we have used them and would recommend them highly. I wish some of my neighbors would use them instead of using their lawn crews which usually butcher the trees and leave a mess. They may know how to mow lawns but know nothing about how to properly trim trees."

Customers say: Quality work

"I'm so glad I found Cody here on Angi! I received five estimates to remove one tree and trim one additional tree. Cody’s Price was by far the most competitive of all of them. He and his crew showed up when they said they would, both for the estimate and the actual work. Communication was great -- he kept me in the loop every step of the way. They did the job in less than one day and cleaned up afterward. They were very courteous and professional. I would hire them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

The depth of tree roots depends on the species. Trees like oaks and maples can have root systems that grow down 20 feet or more. However, trees that grow in shallow soils will have roots that go only a few feet down. Research how your tree species grows in your climate area to estimate root depth.

The fastest ways to remove a tree stump are by grinding it or burning it.

Stump grinding is often the quickest method, with professionals able to chip away a stump and its roots within a single session. You have the option to hire a professional stump removal service or rent a stump grinder to do it yourself. However, it's important to note that these machines can be large, difficult to transport, and dangerous to operate without prior experience. For safety reasons, hiring a local arborist or landscape specialist is often recommended.

Burning is another fast option. Before you begin, check your local burn laws. The process involves drilling holes into the stump, filling them with vegetable oil, and waiting 24 to 48 hours. Afterward, you can add charcoal bricks to the surface and light the fire, which must be attended at all times.

For a more affordable but much slower alternative, you can use potassium nitrate pellets to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This method typically takes four to six months.

Stay inside or well away until the storm passes. Don’t go outside to inspect the tree until the weather clears, especially if the tree is on a hill or isolated in a field. Lightning often strikes the same easily-accessed places multiple times, and you could be a new target. If a lightning strike causes a noticeable fire, alert emergency services. When the storm is over, take a closer look to gauge the damage done.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Tree roots can take weeks to years to die, depending on the method you use. Chemical herbicides take the least amount of time—typically between three and four weeks—while homemade methods, like covering an old stump with leaves, could take between seven and eight years. If you’re unsure which method to use or how quickly you need to act, consulting with a pro is always a good idea.
